Issue #4695 has been updated by Mo Morsi.
Here is a simple test case which can be used to test this issue:
$ /usr/bin/python -c 'import locale ; print locale.getdefaultlocale()'
=> ('en_US', 'UTF8')
Create foobar.pp with the following contents:
exec{"test_locale":
command => "/usr/bin/python -c 'import locale ; print
locale.getdefaultlocale()'",
logoutput => true
}
Run it via:
$ puppet foobar.pp
=> notice: //Exec[test_locale]/returns: (None, None)
=> notice: //Exec[test_locale]/returns: executed successfully

Bug #4695: Puppet should not reset locale
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4695
Author: Mo Morsi
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal

Category: exec

Branch:
Puppet resets various locale related ENV variables to the posix default of 'C'
immediately before invoked Kernel.exec to launch an executable (occurs when
running a Single_exec in a recipe)
http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util.rb#L295
The problem is, the python interpreter will attempt to parse these variables to
determine the default locale, and if it is set to 'C' (or not set at all as it
will default to 'C'), 'None' will be returned, ignoring the true default locale.
Thus any python script launched via Single_exec from a puppet recipe will not
be able to get the default locale by invoking locale.getdefaultlocale(). This
functionality is part of the standard python library and is relied upon by many
various Python scripts.
